The Jewel ‎#14

14. Who Is He?

1 Who is he in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?

Chorus:
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of Glory.
At his feet we humbly fall,
Crown him, crown him, Lord of all.

2 Who is he in yonder cot,
Bending to his toilsome lot? [Chorus]

3 Who is he who stands and weeps
At the grave where Laz'rus sleeps? [Chorus]

4 Who is he in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness? [Chorus]

5 Lo! at midnight, who is he
Prays in dark Gethsemane? [Chorus]

6 On the cross, lo! who is he,
Sheds his precious blood for me? [Chorus]

7 Who is he that, from the grave,
Comes to heal, and help, and save? [Chorus]

8 Who is he that on yon throne
Rules the world of light alone? [Chorus]
